Heya, hope you are ok,

so I was wondering if you would share what kind of APV Gertrude is? I'm imagining Panther, but I was curious if you had a particular one in mind?

Cheers!

Ha!

So there was a bit of disagreement on this over at Rusty Towers.

When writing it I was thinking it was obviously something along the lines of an FV432 but then our US editing team were like… “You mean a humvee right?”

Turns out our editing team and I have radically different conceptions of what constitutes “armoured” and it was a case for passback on some SFX :)

I have a question about the Protocol transcripts. In Ep. 31, the transcript says upload data sulpher.becher, but the audio says discard data sulpher.becher. Is this a typo, or do the transcripts intentionally include details that differ from the audio?

Hey,

Been getting this one a lot. To be clear:

There was just a mix-up and we’ll be fixing the transcripts in due course, we’re not getting all deliberately meta on you here.

It’s a fun mistake I’ll probably talk more about later but not worth hanging your entire red-string theory on.

When in doubt audio reigns supreme and transcripts are intended as a tool to assist listening.

who are the voice actors for Warden Heidi and Warden Dave in the newest magp episode? They’re uncredited and I recognise the voices

Hey,

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like an admin error from transferring data from premiere to public feeds. Team are updating shownotes now but just to answer you properly:

Amy Brown is Warden Heidi and David Ault is Warden Dave

well here’s another question that you probably get a lot and once more again (sorry)


Is there any possibility of graphic novel versions of TMA/TMP? I am seeing all the beautiful art from monte cook/tangled in the web and it is making me crave comic versions in a way I never have before.

thanks!

Working on it.

Good example actually.

In principal graphic novels should be an obvious move but often when you make an agreement involving rights with a third party they can have conditions like “we’ll make X but you can’t make Y until we’re finished.”

It just so happens that everyone has strong opinions on graphic novels meaning they are often a “frozen” right, same for books. This basically is an agreement that no-one will make one until everyone with a stake unanimously agrees.

Rest assured that when we can do this without issue (pun intended) I intend to push for it.

Do you think Norris and Chester would start randomly playing Daisy Bell, like the version from the first computer to sing, and it creeps out everyone in the office

Or is that too disgustingly romantic even for them jxndbd

I think we both know they would sing this.

Hey all,

Reminder that there is less than 75 hours left to back the Magnus Archives RPG expansion “Tangled in the Web” and get the backewr rewards.

Also, to answer the question I keep getting asked, if you want the backer rewards you have to get them through the crowdfund. If you are waiting for them to be made available for sale separately later you are going to be disappointed.

We’re in the final hour and it’s a hell of a surge! Thanks to everyone for yet another surprise stress test of a platform!

All is well, Backer Kit and the Monte Cook team are really on it!

Reminder though, if you want the rewards it’s literally your last chance.

what do you think of avogadros constant?

im in love with it and wont stop annoying my friend with it

6.02x10^23 my beloved

It’s pretty bloody nifty.

I wanted to work it into Protocol as an eldritch thing but didn’t find a good opportunity in the series Bible so now pretty unlikely unless inspiration strikes.

Blame Jonny.
(Not because it’s his fault or anything, just on principal y'know?)

is the elric rehab center’s name a fullmetal alchemist reference or was that just a funny coincidence

Not a coincidence.
